Senator Plumb yesterday presented to
the United States senate the memorial Of

that he had little hope of anything being

The people of this country are bound to
England by many ties. The two nations
are kindred people; they speak the same
language, and the trade Of the two coun-
tries is immense, Notwithstanding these
ties the interest awakened all over this
country by the speech of Senator ingalls,,
shows that there is a deep seated distrust in
the minds of the common people of Eng
land The people of these United States
are easily aroused when there is even re-
mote possibility that England will make
encroachments on our liberties. A national
insult offered by England would meet with
universal resentment in this country.
1t is settled fact that the sisters, wives
and mothers Of Kansas are to take part in
the municipal affairs of Kansas That is
the opportunity will be offered them to as
sumo the important duty of voting for local
officers. A great many people Will look
forward with interest to these local con
tests. 1t remains 10 be seen whether TIE
good and true women of this state are de-
sirous of assuming this duty, which tie
male voters have to certain extent been
reluctant to perform. Wards in this city
that contain more than one to two thou
sand legal voters, in elections heretofore
held have not polled half their vote. Men
who have been reluctant TO perform their
duty in this respect can now ease their con-
science by sending their wives and mothers
to the polls

wAsHISsros, Sept. 6--Ths tarin confer
snce At Oak View Is said 10 be still in pro

tive Scstt, OF Pennsylvsnis. arrived here
lsst night and joined the President and
Speaker Carlisle today. Mr.. Randall ar
rived in town last night. bat whether be
will participate in the conference or not Is
not known. In an interview this after
noon, when asked If he came here to attend
the conference. he said that he had not
come here on any mission, and that he i1-
tended TO return 10 Philadelphia
as soon as he placed his boy
in school. he spoke of the
recent Pennsylvania Democratic conyen-
ton with manifest qualification and is
pleased With the platform and with the
spirit OF harmony and energy that perysdes
his party ia the State. The star this even
ing, speaking df the conference. says: The
administration plan is almost complete and
when il is ready il will contain every point
of concession they are willing to make.
This will be discussed with Mr.. Randall,
and while il is possible that some slight
change might be made at his suggestion. II
thereby they were cure of securing his CO.
operation, it Is likely that, in the main,
the plan will be adhered 10 and
he will be put in the attitude of opposing
the administration if he attempts 10 block
their policy ia the matter. 1t is g party
emergency that will require all their states
manship to meet. The situation is
anomalous. and just what attitude Mr..
Randall may assume is a matter of doubt.
The bill as mapped out certainly makes q
considerable concession TO him from the
attitude of the majority of the party last
Winter. but the question is whether he will
be content to accept s compromise. There
is possibility that sn understanding be-
tween him and Mr.. Scott was reached at
the Pennsylvania convention. but this is a
matter about which nothing can be learned

crowded from the beginning with the

reasons, ordered the immediate burial Of the

The victims are mostly working people.
As soon as the hames were exlinguished a
large force OF Inen began searching for the

burned 50 that only a small cinder remains.
The number of severely injured is sixty.

IL has been sscertained that there were
10 persers occupying seats in the gallery
and OF these over 100 lost their lives. The
search for the bodies still goes on. 1t is
very probable that the total number oi
deaths never will be ascsrtained, owing To

basement of the bsilding, In the latter
place the convention was carried on in loy
tones and was participated in by all the
justices. Without question it had refer
ence to the case of the anarchists, as at the
final meeting before vacation it
was agreed that an opinion
should be decided upon the opening day of
the present term. The prevailing opinion
in well-informed circles is that an opinion
has been written and that its terms
have tonight been approved, but whether
IL will be announced tomorrow, or a week
hence, is As yet matter of conjecture. For
the first time in three years quorum was
present on the e rst day of the term, q fact
